A sheet for whitening cosmetics comprises a sheet-like substrate and an
adhesive layer which comprises a wet pressure-sensitive adhesive
composition formed on the substrate. The whitening component includes
vitamin C or its derivatives such as magnesium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate,
vitamin E nicotinate, kojic acid, hydroquinone, ellagic acid, albumin,
galenical extracts, and rice bran extracts. Kojic acid and magnesium
L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate are preferred. By contacting the adhesive layer
with water and/or a hydrophilic medium such as alcohols, e.g., methanol,
ethanol, etc., the wet pressure-sensitive adhesive composition exhibits
excellent stickiness and excellent applicability to skin as well as
excellent whitening effect with alleviating or eliminating stains,
freckles, non-transparency, etc. on the skin.
